Script:
To my Palestinian brothers and sisters, and to anyone who supports the Palestinian people, I implore you:
Please do not let Hamas brainwash you into thinking it has “achieved” anything on our behalf.
It hasn’t.
Not in the Gaza Wars of 2021, 2014, 2012 or 2008.
Each one of these pointless conflicts has been a catastrophe, costing us dearly in lives and treasure.
Hamas is not a social justice movement, and it certainly does not care about the Palestinian people.
It is a criminal gang that only cares about increasing its own power.
Israel is not the main cause of your suffering.
Hamas is the main cause.
Israel is not your jailer.
Hamas is.
It was Hamas that led you into this most recent disaster.
They told you that the Israelis were evicting innocent Palestinians from their homes in the Sheik Jarrah area of East Jerusalem.
This is a lie.
The people living in those homes weren’t tenants; they were squatters. They hadn’t paid rent for decades.
They told you that the Israelis planned to destroy the Al Aqsa Mosque.
This, too, is a lie.
The mosque is still there. It will be there tomorrow. Say what you want about the Israelis, they are not stupid. They know that if they actually attempt to destroy Al Aqsa, it would lead to war with every Muslim country.
Yes, Hamas takes action and thus looks strong next to its rival, the corrupt Fatah party. But the only action it takes is to lead us into chaos.
Hamas has no ability — and, in fact, no desire — to govern.
The water isn’t safe to drink, the power goes out for hours at a time, raw sewage washes up on your beaches. The Israelis are not responsible for these dismal failures — Hamas is. And everybody in Gaza knows it.
It is Hamas that steals the imported cement meant to build houses for you and uses it instead to build a massive network of tunnels from which it hopes to terrorize Israelis. It is Hamas that makes sure humanitarian aid meant for you is diverted to its favored elites who then sell it for a profit on the black market.
And it is Hamas that uses you as human shields, stationing rocket launchers and missile arsenals in your apartments, office buildings, schools and even hospitals.
Israel uses rockets to defend its people. Hamas uses people to defend its rockets.
As for its war strategy, Hamas doesn’t have one. It fires missiles at the most highly populated regions of Israel, with no specific target. Yet, I know from my sources in Gaza that as much as 25 percent of all rockets launched by Hamas in May 2021 crashed within Gaza. Fifty Gaza civilians were killed by these rockets, their deaths falsely blamed on Israel.
Are you aware of the fact that some of the Hamas missiles that Israeli Defense Forces failed to intercept ended up exploding in places like Jaffa, Abu Ghosh and Lod — where Arab Israelis live? Palestinians living in Israel are as likely to be killed as Israelis themselves.
Hamas couldn’t care less.
And what was gained?
Palestinians living in those four buildings in Sheikh Jarrah will still eventually be evicted, a fact that has been known to those families since they sold away the title to those buildings.
Think about the even greater number of Palestinians who are now homeless in Gaza because Hamas chose to hide weapons in residential buildings.
And when naïve American and European NGO’s offer millions to “rebuild Gaza” who do you think will get that money? It won’t be you — the people who really deserve it and need it; it will be the leaders of the Hamas gang and their friends who will add new rooms to their fancy villas rather than rebuild homes, purchase coronavirus vaccines, or provide social services for their people.

Thanks for this brief moment of sanity.
thank youuuuuuu
Thanks for the info, very interesting, Hamas is basically a Mexican drug gang
Interesting. You could easily swap Hamas with another right now. The Democrat Party is not a social justice movement. It certainly does not care about the American people. It is a criminal gang that only cares about increasing its own power. That and the establishment RINO's in the leadership of the Republican Party.
It needs to be in arab i wud hav thot??
Why the NGO so naive
Yes, sadly they have achieved, by waiting. They waited long enough for Americans in their 20s to become majority full fledged Reprobates and as fascinated with a Culture of Death as Hamas is.
It was true 2 years ago when this video was posted. It is still true now. Hamas couldn't care less for the huge casualties suffered in Gaza: it is actually good PR for them.
The value of life is not the same for extremists and western democracies. This is something most westerners fail to understand.
Why did the electorate in Gaza elect Hamas ?
Straight forward….

18."Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost."

Fast forward two years later
Seems an honest assessment except the covid vaccinations.
Jews would never destroy Al Aqsa under any circumstance as they are so aware how much money can be made with it, as with all monuments.
Should be played for the idiot UN
War effects civilians more than politicians. Bad politicians make bad decisions that effect the civilian population more than themself. War is a bad business but it makes people and companies very wealthy. Hopefully Palestinian and Israli people will find peace and live long and prosper.
if israel is not palestine's jailer, why does it control the flow of water and electricity to palestine then? explain that.
One of the many suggestions as to why Hamas attacked on 7 October was that they knew they were losing strength and they had to make a big gesture to stay relevant. Nobody wants them.
Thank you for being brave enough to speak the truth , many of your people will hate you for it but they all need to hear it.
He is telling the simple truth about the Hamas criminal terrorist gang. Thank you.
A number of American Jewish donors paid Israeli Farmers in the Gaza Strip about $50 Million as compensation for leaving their Hothouses fully operational and not relocate them when they were evacuated.
The first thing that well connected Gazans did when taking control was to strip them of all valuables leaving them useless.
What was once a thriving Industry with huge potential for Gazans growing Vegetables, Flowers and such for the local and lucrative export market went down the drain.
If he hadn't kept saying "Hamas", I would have thought he was talking about Vladimir Putin.
